Telecom field growing?

Q. I'm a beginner in telecom and am having trouble finding work. I thought the field was growing.

A. Telecom is growing moderately but mergers, acquisitions, spin-offs, and cost cutting (often layoffs) are major reasons for that growth. So, like many aspects of information technology, you have growth without a commensurate rise in employment, indeed, employment may fall. Still, the people with the most motivation in any industry seem to have the best chance. I wish you well in your search. Good luck with the search, don't get discouraged. Regards, Tom Farley
